Abstract | Background: The utility, diagnostic yield and accuracy of lung biopsies in pediatric oncology patients are variable. Here we describe our preliminary results using intraoperative electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (IENB) for peripheral lung lesions to increase the surgical yield and accuracy in pediatric oncology patients. Methods: From May 2018 until October 2020 all surgical lung biopsies on pediatric oncology patients were performed using IENB technology. IENB and tattooing with methylene blue dye, Indocyanine green dye or both followed by Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) was performed in the same setting. Data were collected retrospectively. Data points included diagnosis, technical success, pathologic diagnosis and alteration in treatment management and complications. Results: A total of 10 biopsy procedures were performed on 8 patients during the study. The youngest patient was 7 years old. All had successful IENB with tattooing. All biopsies were diagnostic. No procedures were converted to open. There were no technical failures or procedure complications. One patient had a total of 11 biopsies, 6 from the right lung and 5 from the left, performed at 2 separate procedures. Another had 2 biopsies, one from the right lung and one from the left performed at the same operation. In 7 of the 8 patients treatment changes were made based on results of their biopsy. Conclusion: Here we present the first described experience of IENB and tattooing of peripheral lung lesions in the pediatric population. We have shown that IENB for peripheral lung lesion localization is a safe and effective technique in pediatric oncology. |
